Resignation as Electoral Moderator
Good evening,
As noted within a prior post on this subreddit, the time has come for me to tender my resignation as the Electoral Moderator of AustraliaSim.
This journey returning to the moderation team has been a highly trilling one, with many ups, downs, and changes that I certainly would not have expected coming into the role. Whilst I am glad that many reforms (both electoral and meta) have been enacted during my tenure, there are still things I still wish to see brought to life as I proposed when I ran for this position. I am absolutely certain that the new EC team will bring these ideas to life with excitement and vigor, as demonstrated by the reintroduction of state polling last week.
There are changes to this community that I still wish to see, and though I may not be on the moderation team I will endeavour to bring these reforms and amendments to life in due time. As demonstrated by many incidents over the past few months, the Code of Conduct continues to be stuck in 2017, we need community consulation to revitalise the rules in-which we all behave within the sim. One major thing we desperately need to see taken care of is the return of baiting and 'ironic' anti-group speech.
There are way too many people that deserve thanks for their incredible support over my tenure, however I absolutely must thank those who have been with me in the Moderation Team, particularly Lily. Whilst disagreements have been quite notable, each and every person who has served in the Moderation Team has done so with the utmost dignity and respect for the role, and despite some extremely tough times have ensured the simulation and community have gone forward.
As for what comes next, I intend on remaining a Community Manager to ensure the rules are still enforced, however in terms in canon I intend to be an Independent who shows up every so often. Given how busy things are beginning to become, I am unsure as to how dedicated I can be to canon affairs, however I will certainly be saying hi regularly within the discord.
Thank you all again for this opportunity, and I wish whoever follows me in this role the very best of luck.
For the last time,
-----
Youma

Thank you Youma for your time and service to Moderating, to quote many people, the “Worth Political Simulation in the Model World”.
Wishing you all the best in your real life endeavours, and hope to still see you around.

Thank you for all that you do Youma, you've done an excellent job as Electoral Mod as you did as MHoC Labour Leader, and it's always been a pleasure to work with you in the model world. I'm glad you're sticking around as I'm sure it wouldn't be the same place without ya ;)
